Isie Phillips and the House of Xian - Paperback

by Daniel R. Cole (Author)

Isie Phillips was a normal kid; right up until her tenth birthday. After that, strange things started to

happen. She began to have dreams with magical events. Then the magic started to happen in real life.

And if that wasn't enough, her bracelet she had worn since her earliest days at the orphanage, began to

speak to her. She might have been suspicious that she was going crazy if it wasn't for the fact that the

things the bracelet said turned out to be true.

She had always been prone to getting into mischief, so like any ten-year-old fourth grade student on

their first day of school, she was warned by her adoptive mom to stay out of trouble. Things were going

great right up until the biggest bully at Sunshine Elementary started shoving a new kid named Wesley to

the ground. And she was ready to just walk away, right up until the bully gave the new kid a black eye.

She couldn't stand by and do nothing while he beat up a kid half his size. With the help of her black belt

in Chinese Gong-fu, she even managed to keep Wesley from getting hurt any further. And she would

have stayed out of trouble altogether too, if she hadn't had a small lapse in judgement and given that

bully a black eye.

So, Isie Phillips did not stay out of trouble, even though her mom was a teacher at Sunshine Elementary.

It didn't help that she was already well acquainted with Principal Franklin because of her frequent visits

to his office in the past. No, she didn't stay out of trouble, but she did end up making a new best friend

who would teach her the true meaning of loyalty and faithfulness.
